Isn't a little late to still be in the "Kinect Tech Demo-style game" phase? Shouldn't they (developers) be applying this tech to full games already? Possibly creating new genres with it? Or are western developers, in general, just that lazy? That all they see is this motion tech and all they can do is make mini game collections?

I think it might be more of a kinect hardware limitation and it would take a hardware revision before you get those full games.

For 800 points, this looks like a great purchase. If Microsoft were smart, they'd immediately start shipping this with the Kinect. Great for kids, and great for social settings - the two things Microsoft has mainly targeted the Kinect at.

I don't know how long it would stay fun, but if I play around with it for a few hours, and entertain some friends with it a few times, for $10 - who cares?

If this game was associated with any other developer people wouldn't even care about it.

Pretty much.

Probably true, but it would still deserve to be looked at. It an unique idea and it honestly seems to be pretty silly fun. Also, it is targeted at kids, so there is no need to over analyze it. The fact that Double Fine is putting this out is giving it a fair chance to be successful because of their brand name and will give other developers a chance to try this stuff too.
